ON THE RISE
Conscious Hip-Hop artist NIZZY GET GOOD releases his debut single, “Wipe It Down,” anthem music inspired by his Chicago upbringing. With a deliberate mission to infuse Hip-Hop with positivity, this track is all about the art of manifestation. Riding high on a spirited beat, NIZZY invites fans to harness the law of attraction to chase that paper. However, NIZZY’s message goes beyond financial success; he emphasizes being intentional about where and how the money flows.
“[Wipe It Down] is another term for when you get some money, when you’re handling your business. That’s what we say in Chicago. ‘Did you get the money?’ In Chicago when you say, I ‘wiped it down,’ it means, yes, I really did do what I said I was going to do,” shared NIZZY.
“Wipe It Down” is the first single to be released from NIZZY’s forthcoming mixtape, The Art of Finesse, scheduled to drop on November 13. This project, an all-encompassing sonic journey, blurs the lines between mixtape and album, offering fans a versatile soundscape, perfect for vibing in the club, crushing it at the gym, catching rays at the beach, or any moment when an extra dose of motivation is needed. The upcoming album boasts a generous 13-track lineup. NIZZY and platinum producer Chase Davis are already back in the lab cooking up the next single, “Rush Hour.” Stay locked for not one, but two new music videos dropping in the coming weeks for the two singles.
“I’m a Virgo, so I’m a very hard worker. Whenever I do something, I feel like – I can do it even better tomorrow. I’m big on manifestation and the law of attraction, so I want everyone to understand it. I like to look at myself as a motivator. No matter what’s going on, I encourage others to keep striving,” said NIZZY.
NIZZY carries this message through every aspect of his business, including his record label Gotta Get Good Entertainment, utilizing his music as a medium for interpersonal growth and development. At Get Good Entertainment, the business ethos is all about achieving your dreams, but to do so, you have to “get good” at what you do – you must be consistent and committed to the craft.
“In Chicago, we have another term ‘get good,’ continued NIZZY. “It’s another way of saying taking care of business, practice makes perfect – you gotta get good.”
NIZZY GET GOOD, born Nasir Warfield, named after the legendary Hip-Hop icon Nas, hails from the vibrant Southside of Chicago. Growing up in a household filled with music aficionados, particularly die-hard Hip-Hop enthusiasts, NIZZY became a self-taught artist. Fueled by his father's unwavering support, NIZZY's performance journey began at the early age of 5. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Lil Wayne, T.I., Tupac, Lil Bow Wow, and many others, his musical tapestry is rich and diverse. Yet, at the core, he's a self-proclaimed manifestation rapper, driven by a profound mission to empower dream-chasers. NIZZY is dedicated to reintroducing a happy, conscious brand of Hip-Hop to the mainstream market.
“I want to show people how to use what they have to get what they want,” continued NIZZY. “What I want everyone to understand about this mixtape [The Art of Finesse] is that ‘finesse’ means getting things done with delicacy, not hustling people, or hustling for things. It’s about planning and sticking to it, taking the steps to get what you want every day.”
NIZZY currently resides with his family in Las Vegas. Stay connected with NIZZY GET GOOD across all platforms for new music, videos, appearances, and tour dates.
ON THE RISE
Houston artist Skyve knows what it feels like to carry weight you didn't realize was yours. His latest single, "Eternal Time," released July 7th, moves fast and hits harder with under two minutes of guitar-forward energy that somehow manages to feel upbeat and contemplative at once. There's a throwback quality to it, too; the pacing and chord choices carry a distinctly 90s sensibility, the kind of arrangement that trusts a hook to land without over-explaining itself.
Skyve drifts easily between rapping and singing, carrying the song with an unhurried confidence. It's a track about the people and patterns we hold onto long after they've stopped serving us and the strange, freeing ache of finally setting them down.
"It's about taking a step back and finding the things in people that are holding you back or hurting you, and you don't realize it at first," says Skyve. "It's hard to let go of those things and those people, but it will make you a better person."
Born Stryker Johnson, Skyve has been building toward this moment since childhood: making beats on an iPad before he could drive, then on his phone, and eventually in FL Studio, where he landed three years ago. He's 19 now wth “Eternal Time” marking his 11th project, but the first he's genuinely proud of, the kind of song he finds himself coming back to on his own time.
True to his instinct for range, he sings, raps, and plays guitar, with no interest in staying in one lane. 'I do a lot to explore,' he explains, adding that piano, drums, and even banjo are next on his list. For now, he places this project in indie rock territory with an indie pop lean — guitar-driven, melodic, and resistant to easy categorization.
"If I had to categorize my sound, I'd say indie, more than anything. A more creative feeling. Not like the standard sound music offers today," explains Skyve.
On "Eternal Time," Skyve co-wrote and produced alongside a collaborator who helped shape the guitar melodies and the song's overall flow, with both contributing to the drum programming. The lyrics, though, are his alone — as they always are.
"It depends, but I do maybe 50 percent of my own stuff," he shares of his process more broadly. "This one was with a producer who helped lay down some melodies on guitar and get the flow started. But I always write all my lyrics."
The release came with a rare milestone: a live show two weeks prior, marking one of Skyve's first times performing guitar in front of an audience. "It was a little nerve-racking," he admits, "but it ended up being fun overall."
"Eternal Time" isn't tied to an album or EP; it stands on its own, at least for now. But Skyve is already looking ahead. "I do have an album coming out this fall," reveals Skyve. "I'm still working on getting more details, but that's something I want to walk fans through."
For an artist who insists he can't imagine doing anything but music, Skyve's approach feels less like a career plan and more like a compulsion toward honesty. “I don't want to bring a single song or idea to the grave with me,” he reflects — a line that could double as his mission statement. “Eternal Time” is proof he's already living it, one unfinished thought at a time.
“Eternal Time” is now available on all streaming platforms, with promotional support from Starlight PR. With an album on the way this fall, it's clear Skyve is just getting started, so be sure to follow along on social media to catch what's next.
